Which fun, cheap car is suitable for my daughter to learn to drive in?

I have about £6000 to spend on a second car that will be fun to drive, cheap to run and suitable for my daughter to learn to drive in. I was considering a Panda 100HP or Fabia vRS, but I think maybe the Fabia is too fast for a new driver. Have you any alternative suggestions and what do you think of the Fiat?

The Fiat Panda 100 is a fun small car that's not too fast and has proved pretty good in terms of reliability. Other small but sporty alternatives are the Mitsubishi Colt CZT, the Nissan Micra 160SR and the Ford SportKa.
